Size and Color Sprawl

Each Shopbop style arrives on a purchase order as many size and color lines. Map one wrong and the ship notice and invoice repeat it.

Notices That Miss the Cartons

A ship notice that does not match the cartons on the truck turns into a receiving problem your team has to explain to Shopbop.

One Stock, Two Buyers

Your styles sell on your own site and to Shopbop. With separate counts, a Shopbop PO can promise units DTC shoppers already bought.

The Solution for Shopbop EDI Integration & Order Management

Shopbop Picks the Styles. Pipe17 Ships Them From One Count.

Shopbop purchase orders can go through Pipe17’s managed EDI or stay with your EDI provider. The hard part follows the document: scripts and a legacy OMS holding wholesale orders away from DTC stock. Pipe17’s Order Operations Platform stands in for both, so every Shopbop style ships from one inventory count.

Clean Style Mapping

Notices Built From Cartons

The 856 Shopbop receives comes from the cartons your warehouse or 3PL confirmed, not from what the purchase order planned.

Shared Stock Across Channels

Shopbop POs and your online orders draw from one count across warehouses, and the 846 Shopbop gets reports from that count.

Automated Shopbop EDI Flows

With managed EDI, Pipe17 holds the trading-partner connection with Shopbop and turns each wholesale order into work for your warehouse or 3PL. The flows below cover the documents in that exchange.
  • Pull Orders from Shopbop. Shopbop buyers pick styles and unit quantities, and each line of the resulting purchase order (850) is matched to your size-level SKU and to the location that will ship it.
  • Push Order Confirmations to Shopbop. Should Shopbop want an 855 acknowledgment on your program, Pipe17 sends one back, with each style line confirmed or trimmed to what you can deliver.
  • Push Fulfillments to Shopbop. The ship notice (856) goes out once your warehouse or 3PL confirms the shipment, listing the cartons, styles, and sizes that are actually on it.
  • Push Inventory to Shopbop. Where Shopbop takes inventory advice, each 846 Pipe17 sends reports available units by size from the warehouses you decide to share.
  • Push Invoices to Shopbop. Once Shopbop Accounting approves you for EDI invoicing, an 810 invoice follows each confirmed shipment and bills Shopbop for the units that left, matched to the original purchase order.
  • Answer Each Shopbop Transmission. Pipe17 returns a 997 functional acknowledgment for every file Shopbop sends, a receipt both sides can point to later.
  • Review Shopbop Order Changes. When Shopbop sends a purchase order change (860), Pipe17 takes it in and acknowledges it with a 997, and your team checks the revision against the original order.
  • Pick the Shipping Location. You set the rules that send a Shopbop order to a particular warehouse or 3PL, based on where the styles and sizes are stocked.
  • Book Shopbop Orders in Your ERP. Each Shopbop order is written to your ERP, a NetSuite sales order being one example, with wholesale revenue beside your other channels.
  • Share Carton Label Data. Where Shopbop calls for GS1-128 (UCC-128) carton labels, the warehouse or 3PL pulls each label’s data by API from Pipe17 and does the labeling. Coverage is scoped per program.
  • Send Shopbop Orders to a 3PL by EDI. For a 3PL that works over EDI, Pipe17 issues a 940 shipping order and reads the 945 advice that comes back before the Shopbop ship notice goes out.
  • Surface Problem Orders. A Shopbop order with a style that is not mapped, or one that breaks a validation rule, waits in your team’s exception queue.

Connect Shopbop EDI to Your Fashion World

Run Shopbop beside your own store, other wholesale doors, and marketplaces on one Order Operations Platform. Each style’s stock is then counted once, however it sells.

Ship Every Shopbop Order From Stock You Actually Have

Move Shopbop purchase orders onto the platform that already handles your online orders, and keep one count behind both. We will go through your Shopbop setup with you on a call.

Shopbop EDI Integration FAQs

Shopbop runs its vendor EDI initiative through its designated EDI network (VAN): a supplier contacts Shopbop's EDI team, fills in the network's vendor profile form, and tests its documents with the network and Shopbop before go-live. EDI provider guides list SHOPBOPTEST as the test ID and SHOPBOP for production. Pipe17 configures those IDs, handles the document mapping, and runs the testing Shopbop approves, as Pipe17's managed EDI onboarding lays out.

Shopbop's initiative lists six documents, starting with its purchase order (850) and the change to it (860), then the advance ship notice (856), invoice (810), inventory advice (846), and 997 functional acknowledgment. On Pipe17's managed EDI, each 850 becomes an order, every 860 gets a 997 in reply, and the 856, 810, and 846, all in Pipe17's supported X12 set, go back to Shopbop when your program uses them.

Approval from Shopbop's Accounting team comes first, because its EDI initiative lists the invoice (810) as requiring it. Once approved, Pipe17 builds each 810 from the units that shipped, after the advance ship notice (856) goes out, while the order itself sits in an ERP such as Acumatica as a sales order. Each invoice ties back to the EDI order flow on Pipe17 that starts with the purchase order (850).

No, Shopbop's EDI initiative lists inventory advice (846) as by request only. The feed starts when Shopbop asks for one. Pipe17 then builds each 846 from live inventory at the warehouses you choose to share, the same count behind your ecommerce storefront (Shopify, for example) and marketplaces such as Amazon sell from. A size that sells out elsewhere drops out of the next update.

Yes, Shopbop's EDI initiative includes the purchase order change (860), which Pipe17 logs against the original order and acknowledges with a 997. Nothing is applied automatically, which keeps a person in charge of revised quantities, dates, or dropped lines. Your team compares the change with the first purchase order (850), then edits the order in Pipe17's Order Operations Platform and in NetSuite or another ERP.

Yes, you can keep the EDI provider you already use for Shopbop, whether SPS Commerce or a different one, while Pipe17 links to that provider or picks the Shopbop orders up from your ERP, and managed EDI covers suppliers with no provider yet.
